DIC Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle has personalization capabilities that allow
you to program certain features to a preferred setting
for up to two drivers. The back of the keyless access
transmitters are labelled 1 or 2.
The current driver’s preferences are recalled when one
of the following occurs:
The lock or unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter, programmed as 1 or 2, is pressed.
The appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver’s seat is pressed. SeeMemory Seat,
Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 1-3for more
information.
A valid keyless access transmitter is detected upon
opening the driver’s door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter is
detected upon opening the driver’s door, the driver
preferences for the lowest driver number will be recalled.
If a keyless access transmitter is programmed
as #3 or #4, the personalization system will not
recognize the transmitter. The Driver Information
Center (DIC) will not display a current driver number
and the features that are normally programmed
through the DIC will be set to the default states.Also, if the OPTIONS button is pressed, the DIC does
not display the menus used to set personalizations,
but instead displays OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE for
a few seconds.

is running and in PARK (P). To avoid excessive drain
on the battery, it is recommended that the headlamps
are turned off. Press the OPTIONS button and the
Driver Information Center (DIC) will display the
current driver for a few seconds, then display the
rst personalization menu item. You can now use the
OPTIONS button to change the setting of the displayed
feature. Press the top or bottom of the information
button to scroll up or down the list of features. When
you get to a feature you want to change, press the
OPTIONS button again. When you are nished, press
the RESET button to exit the personalization menu.
If no button is pressed within 45 seconds, the DIC will
exit the personalization menu.

one keyless access transmitter has been removed
from the interior of the vehicle, the doors will lock
after eight seconds.
For example, if there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the
other will be locked in. The keyless access transmitter
locked in the vehicle can still be used to start the vehicle
or unlock the doors, if needed. A person approaching
the outside of the locked vehicle without an authorized
keyless access transmitter, however, will not be able
to open the door, even with a transmitter in the vehicle.

Getting Started
Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read
this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and
to understand how the system works.
Any route suggestions made by this navigation system
may never override local traffic regulations, your
own judgement, and/or knowledge of safe driving
practices.
Disregard route suggestions made by the navigation
system if such suggestions would; cause you to perform
a hazardous or illegal maneuver, place you in a
hazardous situation, or route you into an area you
consider unsafe.Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. SeeDefensive Driving on page 5-2for
more information. Get familiar with your vehicle’s
navigation system so you can use it with less effort
and take full advantage of its features. Your navigation
system includes not only navigation, but also audio
functions. While your vehicle is parked:
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls: hard
keys on the faceplate and touch-sensitive screen
buttons.
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
Set up your audio by presetting your favorite stations,
setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers. Then,
when driving conditions permit, you can tune to your
favorite stations using the presets and steering wheel
controls (if equipped).
Set up the navigation features that can only be done
before you begin driving, such as entering an
address or a preset destination.
4-4

Entering a destination or alphanumeric text requires
many steps, so you can only perform these operations
when the vehicle is in PARK (P). You will notice
that touch-sensitive screen buttons leading to the
alphanumeric keyboard are dimmed out while driving.
Other functions may also be locked out while driving and
they too will appear grayed out on the screen — but
all functions are available when parked. Some functions
can be performed while driving, as long as you can
do so without diverting too much of your attention from
your driving.
{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.
{CAUTION:
Looking at the moving map on the navigation
screen frequently or for too long while driving
can cause a crash and you or others can be
injured or killed. Keep your eyes and mind on
the road and avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the navigation
screen. Use the voice guidance directions
whenever possible.
The navigation system allows you to do the following:
Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route
and map guidance with voice prompts. See
Plan Route on page 4-19for more information.
Select a destination using various methods and
choices.
Receive broadcast announcements on traffic and
emergency alert communications.
